On my 1987 Montauk, the hook from the strap would not fit in the bow eye. I purchased a shackle that was a bit wider than the thickness of the eye. I installed it with the shank through the eye. I dipped all but the top of the curve in liquid electrical tape so it would not damage the gelcoat. Worked great.
